Instructors

Instruction is limited. Instructors are volunteers from the advanced and competition run group, appointed by the event chair. We expect instructors to assist new drivers with learning the line and basic driving technique for a session or two. We respect that our volunteer instructors are at the event to enjoy their own track time as well.
